Crane Technology Truck, trailer and tracked cranes Extension lengths up to 55 metres and payloads of up to 12 tonnes Böcker crane technology offers you a reliable and adaptable solution whenever you need to safely and efficiently lift large and bulky loads to lofty heights. Besides having extension lengths of up to 55 metres and payloads of up to 12 tonnes, our truck cranes, trailer cranes and tracked cranes are characterised by extremely high safety standards, a comparatively low weight and compact dimensions. For example, it is easy to transport Böcker cranes from one site to the next and set them up without requiring a lot of space. 2 Outstanding crane technology The sky is the limit with Böcker innovations Shortly after founding the company in 1958, the master blacksmith Albert Böcker developed his first innovation, the hydraulic inclined lift. This was later followed by the inclined lift with an elbow section. From then on, it was possible for roofers to transport roof tiles comfortably right up to the apex of the roof. Since then, we have been working constantly to improve our products to match the needs of our customers and have repeatedly set new standards in quality and safety in the area of lifting technology. Pioneer in aluminium crane technology In 1989, Böcker entered crane technology as a pioneer, with the introduction of the first mobile truck crane in aluminium lightweight construction. The manoeuvrability of the space- saving Böcker aluminium cranes make the work in the construction industry a lot easier with their great out-reach. Following on from this, in 1997 we developed the first aluminium trailer crane. 3 Quality thanks to decades of experience To be able to develop our crane technology on an ongoing basis, we not only observe the latest technical developments in the market, but also enter into close communication with partners from a wide variety of trades. We do this so we can understand the specific needs of the trade and industry to develop truck cranes, trailer cranes and tracked cranes that not only meet the expectations of our customers, but actually surpass them. Today, our cranes are leading in the field in terms of technology and quality thanks to nearly three decades of experience in building aluminium cranes and the growing expertise of working with high-tensile steel. High performance makes the difference Being the quality and innovation leader in the area of lifting technology for our customers, we owe this to our highly qualified and long-term workforce of over 500 employees. As a company active on the global stage with a worldwide presence, we are not only known for our high-tech and expertise; but we also take a sense of responsibility with a clear commitment to its German location. Therefore, at Böcker we strive to ensure it does not lose sight of its own tradition, and after more than 60 years, it still remains loyal to the corporate philosophy of this third-generation family-owned business: Be it as a customer or an employee, people are at the centre of everything we do. 4 5 6 Developed responsibly, reliably and with pride Advantages of the Böcker crane technology Durability and 01 environmental friendliness The Böcker performance promise Böcker crane technology convinces primarily through uncompromising durability. Thus, we only use galvanised steel hydraulic piping. We regularly perform long term load tests with our cranes, during which the telescope and outrigger cylinders, chassis, sliding rails and wire ropes must verifiably prove themselves. Those components that we do not manufacture at our own site, we order from known and reliable manufacturers who offer a world-wide service. Due to the stability of the value of our crane technology, we therefore, not only offer you security in the cost calculation but also a safe investment. The biodegradable hydraulic oil also plays a part in the durability of your Böcker crane, as well as reducing maintenance costs and protecting the environment. Due to the most modern engine technology with the highest combustion efficiency, both you and the environment profit from optimal performance with excellent exhaust gas values and a reduced fuel and oil consumption. Overview of the benefits Excellent cost efficiency due to low operating and servicing costs Very safe investment due to higher than average value stability and the Böcker guarantee promise Environmentally friendly due to biodegradable hydraulic oil and reduced petrol consumption 7 Effective working and highest reach The Böcker mast and 02 telescope system We manufacture our mast and telescope systems from an optimal combination of highly tensile steel and aluminium alloys, thanks to the decades of experience in consequent light- weight construction. Benefit from our enclosed mast system, which offers you maximum stability, safety and torsional rigidity; and furthermore, it is extremely reliable. And for erecting the mast, we also rely on a long proven combination. Remain on top of every task thanks to the use of hydraulic cylinders in combination with chains or ropes. You will also be impressed by the fully hydraulic extending boom, which helps you reach comfortable boom lengths of up to 14 m.* Overview of the benefits Precise work thanks to the stability and torsional rigidity of the profiles Sensitive and judder-free telesco- ping even with high loads and flat mast angles Highest reaches even up to the back of the roof for effective work without having to relocate the crane due to the fully hydraulic extendible boom* *optionally available for some models 8 9 10 Work in very confined spaces thanks to unsurpassed flexibility and safety 03 The Böcker support technology The Böcker support technology lets you extend each individual crane outrigger as far as required and thus every available cm of space can be used - a decisive advantage especially in restricted spaces. This fully variable extension of the outriggers allows you flexible positioning and the optimal erection geometry of your crane, positively influencing the crane reaches. The practical self-levelling function warrants fast and safe erection of the crane, which can be regulated comfortably from beginning to end using the remote control, and thus can also be carried out easily from a distance. Furthermore, the enclosed and redundant safety concept allows weather-independent crane stability. The site, in turn, is optimally secured by the flashing LED light that can be integrated into every outrigger. Also take advantage of the largest possible ground clearance and overcome uneven ground thanks to the large lift of the Böcker support technology. Overview of the benefits Erection and work in the smallest spaces thanks to fully variable extension of every individual outrigger Fast and comfortable crane erection thanks to self-levelling and wireless colour remote control Optimal crane stability and securing of the site Greatest possible ground clearance through the large lift of the outriggers 11 12 Stay connected – with the smart customer portal BöckerConnect The digital connection to your Böcker crane 04 The digital portal informs you online about your fleet and provides all relevant data of the connected cranes at a glance. After a personal login you will get an overview of the current status and location of your cranes. In addition, the master and performance data of each crane are shown in a detailed view. Statistics on how the crane was used and performed can also be called up. In addition to the visualization and evaluation of the device data, the portal provides information about upcoming inspection dates and events. well as the service history stored in the portal Technical documents, such as data sheets, operating enable a differentiated remote maintenance and instructions or maintenance plans, and the contact well-founded technical support by the Böcker information of your direct contact persons are also customer service. stored centrally. On the new online platform, you can also view the current position of your cranes at any time and receive a configurable theft notification as soon as the cranes leave a previously defined radius of action. In addition, thanks to the location determination via GPS, it is possible to track the travelling route of the cranes. Overview of the benefits For data acquisition, the connected cranes are Current overview of all machine data equipped with an integrated remote maintenance available via the customer portal module that transmits the information to a central GPS location determination and theft cloud via mobile phone network. The continuously alerts are freely configurable transmitted diagnostic data and sensor values as Diagnostic function for remote main- tenance minimizes machine down- times 13 The clever answer to every challenge Innovative control concept by Böcker 05 The Böcker operating concept We at Böcker rely on the particularly intuitive wireless remote controls which come with full colour displays (depending on the model) from HBC-radiomatic. The user-friendly and clear depiction of the operating situation is supported by self-explanatory pictograms, thereby ensuring intuitive and safe operation. Already during erection, constantly updating reach dials make it possible to position the crane optimally for the target area. During operation, several crane functions can be controlled simultaneously, which makes working with a Böcker crane particularly efficient. As standard, every Böcker wireless remote control allows diagnostics readings in the display. Fuel level
